Yarn Kits for Helyer Hat

Sale price$41.00

This is a pre order. Your kit will ship the week of October 26th.

This kit is for the yarn only 

The Helyer Hat is worked using Jamieson's of Shetland Spindrift. For the sample I also added in a silk mohair. The silk mohair is not part of this kit. The hat can be knit without it. However if you purchase the Ayre Vest Kit you might have enough left over silk mohair to use for the hat too!

Prussian (MC), Old Gold (CC1), Mermaid (CC2), Bluebell (CC3)

 1 ball of each color.

  • Please note that the pattern is NOT part of this kit. The pattern is only in my new book "Shetland Shades: Stories in Wool"   
  • Find Shetland Shades book here.
